Welcome to BEYOND FREEDOM and your own personal journey of the mind.

The answers we all seek are not only “out there.” The greatest mystery of them all may be right inside our minds.

Imagine if every day was your best day. Wouldn’t that be great? What’s the best day of your life like? Where would you be? Who is with you? What are you doing? Can you feel the smile on your face, the joy in your heart?

It is an important first step to know what true happiness means for each of us. If you don’t know what will make you happy, how can you ever expect it to happen? Please take a moment to think about your best day. But don’t just think about it, see yourself there, experience the happiness.

EXERCISE

Imagine your ultimate day. Write it in the box below. Describe not only what you’d do and where you’d be, but also what you’d be feeling during your best day ever. Hold onto those feelings!

Think about this. The very first thing we start to do upon entering this world is learn. We learn that when we cry, we’re fed or changed. We learn to understand that certain noises or words correspond to specific behaviors. We are learning machines. But as we get older, we often start to develop patterns. We feel we have an operating knowledge. We know enough to get by. Many of us lose that insatiable quest for new knowledge and valuable new experiences.

They say knowledge is power. BEYOND FREEDOM is a method for transforming the power of knowledge into energy, energy into action and action into untold abundance of health, wealth, hope and freedom. It’s not just a way of thinking about life. It’s a way of living life. It’s a way of thriving at a higher level than you’ve ever achieved.

Life Without Limits. Do you unintentionally set limits for yourself? Are there some things you

don’t even try because you know you just won’t be any good? Then think about the phrase Life Without Limits.

No limits. No money problems. Loving your job so much it’s not work. Rewarding friendships and passionate, committed relationships. Free time to do what you desire. Think what your life would be like if truly anything was possible.

A Life Without Limits is something to strive for. But often we must first stop following old advice we were given, directions we chose, habits we’ve developed and even many of those deep-seated beliefs we hold on to dearly.

EXERCISE

In your workbook, please write down the best advice you’ve ever received. Try to remember the advice exactly the way it was given to you. Recall the circumstances when you received the advice. Was it given to you by a friend? A parent? A teacher? A mentor? A stranger? Was it written in a book?

Is the advice you were given negative or positive? Does it comment on the potential and greatness of the human spirit, or does it caution against those who would take advantage? Was it given to you as a warning or an act of encouragement?

Now think hard. Why was the advice so good? You’ve just declared it to be the best advice you’ve ever received. Why? There may be an obvious answer, but what was the bigger reason? How has it served you? How has it made your life more fulfilled or truthful? Write down other “word to live by” you have received throughout your life and subject them to the same questions as above.
